Platforms 1 and 2 share an island platform, and platforms 3 and 4 share another. Space was reserved for the platforms of the East Kowloon line when this station was built in the 1970s. This can be seen behind the advertising panels for each platform. The spaces for the reserved platforms are little more than untrimmed rock formations behind the advertising panels.

The Tuen Ma line platforms are located to the south of those of the Kwun Tong line; the station was expanded to include those platforms and an extended concourse as part of the Sha Tin to Central Link project.
